In the past year there has been
trend towards less breakage of
urniture in the residence halls,

ger of residence halls and Uni-'
rersity apartments, indicated.
Schaadt credits this decreased.

All events will be held in the

The morning seminars are on

tion of the house councils in the
various units.
Men's residences account for
much of the breakage that does
occur. "It is in the nature of
boys to be filled with vigor which'
may result in horseplay and break-
ing of . furniture," S c h a ad t
theorized.
However, he noted that residents
of the quadrangles are more con-
siderate of the furniture than in
the past.
Under normal use residence hall
furniture lasts from 15 to 35 years.
Mattresses are replaced after 15
years, but chairs, beds, desks and
other equipment last 35 years
or more.
In selecting furnishings, the
University's purchasing depart-
ment, Service Enterprises, chooses
hotel or institutional type furni-
ture. Men's furnishings are the
most sturdy as feminine appeal is
considered in buying items for the
women's residence halls.
Theft of furniture is heaviest
at the beginning of the school year.
This year two davenports were
stolen from West Quad. Other-
wise thievery has been held to a
minimum with the aid of the
Ann Arbor Police and the dean
of men's office, Schaadt indicated.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass - A group
of Harvard graduate students have
initiated a campaign to send let-
ters, gifts and Christmas cards to
the four Negro girls who are at-
tending classes in New Orleans
public schools,
"We feel that friendly greetings
from persons all over the nation
would do much to offset the daily
hurt and anguish that these little
girls experience4" a spokesman
for the group said.

LOS ANGELES - The UCLA
faculty academic senate has re-
commended that the University of
California refuse National De-
fense Education Act (NDEA) stu-
dent loans until such time as the
disclaimer affidavit is repealed.
There was no objection to the
oath preceding the affidavit. The
oath affirms "true faith and el-
legiance to the United States of
America" and support of the con-
stitution.
Basis for the faculty opposition
to the affidavit is that it is re-
quired only of students and not of
other groups applying for federal
aid.

"Most faculty members do not
know the difference between one
sorority and another," Prof. Mar-
vin Felheim told a Panhellenic
workshop on sorority-faculty re-
lations Wednesday.
He also° pointed out that most
faculty members do not and should
not give "a healthy damn" if stu-
dents are affiliates or not. The
faculty should naturally prefer an.

A student to a C student regardless1
of living units.-
"If a distinction is to be made,"
Prof. Felheim added, "it is a fact
that most sorority girls are basic-
ally more concerned with extra-
curricular activities than indepen-
dents, and this would tend to make
the academically-minded faculty
less. sympathetic to them."
More Grad Students
Within ten years the University7
will probably be 50 per cent grad-1
uate students and faculty interests1
will tend more towards research
rather than any activity remote-1
ly considered "extra-curricular."
The Important facts in a college
life would then be in getting ad- ;
mitted to the University and grad-'
uating, not in participating in sor-;
ority activities, he said.
Prof. Felheim thought that.
while sororities try to stand for
scholarship they generally do this
for improper reasons. Grades are
done solely for making grades or;
for raising the house average in-;
stead of individual scholarship.j
Sororities are "not geared to the
intellectual life of the University"
but to "social situations," he said.;
Taken Too Seriously
Prof. Felheim warned the sorori-
ties to "remember where you are'
and who you are," so they would
not take themselves as seriously
as they do. "Ten years from now,"
he chided, "you will no longer be
sorority girls." Other things will
have become more important and

the woman who maintains her
sorority ties throughout her mar-
ried life is a "fathead."
He criticized several aspects of
sorority life, concentrating most,
heavily on rush, conformity and
faculty dinners, ".Rush is an in-
terference in the academic life of
the University," he said. "The
magnituderof the system is also
unnecessary because of the num-
ber of girls who rush; with so,
many rushing, any house which
cannot fill its quota should quit
then."
Cites Sameness
"The houses all look alike--the
same pastel colored rugs, the same
pastel furniture . .. the same girls
standing around with the same
hairdos . . . I defy you to take
home your Ensian yearbook and'
have your ten year old brother
pick you out!" he said.
Prof. Felheim suggested that
sorority girls invite their profes-
sors to informal teas or lunches
rather than the customary din-
ners. He said that the dinners fail-
ed in their aim of bringing teacher
and student together and that
toese informal talks would be
more enthusiastically received by
the faculty.
He concluded that the sorority
system on this campus was one
of the best in the nation but would
have to be improved if it was go-
ing to meet the growing intellec-
tual demands of the University.

"The more I discover what is
essential to a really successful
marriage, the more I'm convinced
that the basic essentials of religion
are fundamental to a good mat-
ing " Prof. David Fulcomen said
yesterday.
Prof. Fulcomen, a marriage
counselor and member of the Iowa
State University sociology depart-
ment, outlined five basic require-
ments for a successful marriage in
his lecture on "The Contributions
of Religion to Marriage."
The first requirement is a mu-
tual confidence and respect. People
cannot have stable and satisfying
human relationships until they
4-

)t iieu gton
have a deep respect for other's
dignity as human beings.
Respect Needed.
"If you have a fairly high de-1
gree of mnutual respect and con-
fidence, you won't have to worry
about feeling possessed and con-
fined," Prof. Fulcomer indicated.
Acceptance of and love for the
partner is the second requirement.
"One must love a person just as
he is. One can change a person
really only by accepting him."
Prof. Fulcomer stressed in-
dividuality. "Accept your mate,
thus seeing to it that he main-
tains kris individuality, which is
essential in marriage."
Agreement Necessary
Thirdly, the couple must share
"a high degree of compatibility in
philosophy and values," Prof. Ful-
comer said.
Partners must agree on the most
important things and realize that
they can't agree on everything.
"Religion certainly orients a
couple toward compatibility in
values."
"A feeling of responsibility to
contribute everything possible to
the mnarriag'e," was considered
another prime requirement. One
partner can not exploit the other.
"We must try to concentrate on
trying to be the right kind of a
person for marriage," Prof. Ful--
comer said,
Lastly there must be constant
attempts to undIerstand the part-
ner. "One must try to understand
before reacting to what has been
said or done," Prof. Fulcomer
said. "People need love, especially
when they least deserve it.
